Another devastating cancer affecting women is invasive cervical cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 11,150 cases of invasive cervical cancer are expected to be diagnosed in 2007. Incidence rates have decreased steadily over the past several decades as Pap screening has become more prevalent. An estimated 3,670 cervical cancer deaths are expected in 2007. Morality rates have declined sharply over the past several decades as well.
Early determination of how far the invasive cervical cancer has spread is key to selecting the most appropriate treatment, and PET Scanning can help.
